Cialis is an erectile dysfunction medicine, similar to Viagra and Levitra. All of those PDE-5 inhibitors fall under the same category of approved erectile dysfunction medicine, i.e. they help men with their erectile response when sexually stimulated. All of them have specific use requirements – for instance, they should be taken 30-60 minutes before sex. Levitra and Viagra must be taken on an empty stomach (since the food actually has an effect on their performance), however Cialis can be taken on an empty or full stomach, i.e. before or after eating, which makes it better than the competitors. Another very important factor for Cialis is its prolonged effect – while the other medicines work up to about 8 hours (depending on a lot of factors, including the food intake), Cialis can last up to 17-18 hours without interrupting your other daily activities. It comes in the form of a pill taken orally.
As all PDE-5 inhibitors, Cialis may have side effects including but not limited to – upset stomach, headaches, muscle aches, stuffy or runny nose, back pain. It’s also important to proceed with caution if using other medicine – for instance, Cialis should be used extremely cautiously if you’re accepting any medicine with effect on your blood flow or arteries – such as Nitrates (which widen the arteries), Alpha blockers (improving your blood flow), and other similar products. One must proceed with caution with alcohol as well – excessive alcohol use along with taking Cialis may result in low blood pressure in specific situations, for instance when standing up or other physical activities.
It’s also very important to not use Cialis excessively. Once must remember that after taking a tablet (remember, it can have an effect up to 17-18 hours or more), some of the ingredients can stay in your system for up to 2 days. If you’re taking kidney or liver medicine (and you have problems with those organs), it can stay even longer due to the the longer period of time chemical components stay in your body before being re-worked or flushed out.
Another thing you should definitely do before using Cialis is to get in touch with your GP or healthcare professional. This product isn’t for everyone, especially for people with pulmonary or heart problems, or who have an erection of 4 hours or more, retinitis pigmentosa, or a stroke, and more. An exam is ideal before deciding to take it, and some tests may have to be run to ensure not only the pill will have proper effects, but that it will not hurt you in any way that could be easily avoided and cause further health issues.”
